LONDON’S ARCADES: THE ROYAL ARCADE

One of the things we like when we are in an old city, is to discover the passages of the city and Paris and Istanbul’s passages are our favorites. We love their architecture, the details in their architectural ornaments, decorations and the small shops inside.

Like many of old big cities, London also has some arcades. This XIX. century arcades are concentrated around Piccadilly area and since two centuries they are home of some luxurious small shops.

And here is one of them: The Royal Arcade built in 1879 and located between Old Bond Street and Albemarle Street.
